Here He Sits

****Our Oscar passed away this past Monday, February 20, 2023.  He inspired a few blogs and I wanted to share them again.  I love how the Father speaks through all His creation, especially “man’s best friend” of which this boy was.  RIP sweet buddy!****

Here he sits.66784_10152401932770164_453500106_n

A dog that was bred in Northern Scotland to rid farms, castles and other areas of vermin. A West Highland Terrier that has a tail that can be pulled out of a tunnel without pain or damage. A dog with a bark loud enough to notify the owner when he gets in that tunnel. (God’s creation amazes me by the way…)

And yet……

Here he sits. Continue reading Here He Sits

Lap Dogs

 *********Our sweet boy passed away yesterday, February 20, 2023.  He was almost 12 years old and taught us so many things worth repeating.  The Father used him in so many ways.  RIP Sweet boy, our hearts are broken, but how grateful we are to have had you in our lives.********

My pup and I have a routine we go through every single night. And if I am not where I am supposed to be, sometime in the evening I have to get there…no matter the hour. Continue reading Lap Dogs

Never Crack Open that Door

Never crack open the door of “worry”.

A crack is not enough, for the door will be forced open wider.

“Worry” will walk in with all its minions of frustration, fear, anxiety.

The intent is to rob you of your peace, joy, contentment and trust.

Closure is only possible with the word of God.

That is where I have had to dwell today.  I cracked the door open last night.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7 

Plus so many more verses:

Matthew 6:25, 6:34, 13:22, 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 38:9, 94:19, John 14:27, Proverbs 12:25,  Ecclesiastes 1:18, 11:10, Luke 12:22-23,  2 Corinthians 9:8, Mark 13:11, Revelation 21:3-4, Job 1:20-21, 19:25 

Close that door my friends!  And be encouraged today..no matter your circumstances.  Jesus is with you.
